Enlisted-to-Officer Opportunities
Detachment 847 specializes primarily in Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), which allows military members to separate, become full-time college students and get commissioned as officers after graduation.
However, there are other ways that active duty enlisted personnel may become officers:
-

Complete a bachelor’s degree as an Air Force ROTC cadet. -
Professional Officer Course-Early Release Program (POC-ERP)
Enter ROTC within two years of separation and become a full-time college student. -
Scholarships for Outstanding Airmen (SOAR)
Separate from active duty and become a full-time college student through ROTC. -
Airmen Education and Commissioning Program (AECP)
Earn a bachelor’s degree while on active duty, then attend Officer Training School. -
Nurse Enlisted Commissioning Program (NECP)
Earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing while on active duty. -
Officer Training School (OTS)
Allows those with bachelor’s degrees to complete military training to become officers.
